GARY MEGSON is sure there will be no feud between Ivan Klasnic and John Terry if they meet for the first time since England’s captain accused Croatia striker Klasnic of spitting in his direction.

Bolton striker Klasnic, above, came on as a substitute in England’s 5-1 World Cup qualifying win at Wembley and admitted to his Reebok manager Megson that he had spat at the end of the game but had not intended Terry to be a target.

Megson warned him but took no disciplinary action.

Klasnic, who has come through two life-saving kidney transplants, plays at Chelsea in the Carling Cup tonight.

Megson firmly believes all will have been forgotten. “I don’t see any problems,” he said.

But if Sam Allardyce is to be believed, Megson should be worried about any close encounter between his own players and those in Chelsea shirts.

Blackburn manager Allardyce is certain the swine flu within his own squad will have been contracted by Chelsea players in their weekend fixture.

Megson said, however: “We have had five people – four players, two in the first-team squad, and a member of staff – with it.

“I would think every business has had it at some point. It really isn’t a big deal.

“We didn’t make a big deal of it at the time and we don’t want to make a big deal of it now. The people who contracted it didn’t want it blazed all over the press, quite rightly.

“But you can’t go and call games off and nor would we want to or try to.”
